Abstract
-
en_US
One finds here both an excellent telling and an excellent presentation of this age-old tale of finding the greatest groom for the mouse maiden. The father goes, respectively, to sun, cloud, wind, and mountain before the latter tells him that the mice who dig in him are greater than he is. A great touch occurs when the father comes home to tell his wife what he has learned: And their daughter cheered. Ed Young's medium here is collage, with pastel and watercolor on a variety of papers. The beautiful collages are on stiff cardboard pages. Each illustration continues onto the next accordioned page, and on the back of the whole fold-out is the Chinese story told with traditional characters in white on black. There are finally two straw tassels to tie the book shut. Lovely!
